As Mark Twain once said...

"The reports of my death

have been greatly exaggerated."

I just love Mark Twain, so I couldn't resist using that famous quote! I bet you didn't know Mark Twain's hometown of Hannibal, Missouri is only a couple of hours from here, did you? I have been there many times and absolutely love it there. If you ever get a chance, then go visit that charming little river town. There is so much to see and do there.

No, my blog isn't dead yet either! Life has been a little hectic and thrown me off schedule. I apologize to the few of you that may actually read this blog from time to time! I never intended to let it go for so long, so I am sorry. Wow, time sure does fly. Now it is going to be a REAL challenge to get back to posting on the blog. I hope I won't let you down.
